How BantabaMarkets works
BantabaMarkets is a community prediction-pool platform, not a casino, not a continuous trading exchange. Stakes are locked until the event resolves, and settlement is transparent.
- 1
Gather around a question
Every market starts as a real-world question: will a team qualify, will inflation fall, will an election go a certain way. Resolution criteria and the official source are shown upfront.
- 2
Stake your insight
Choose an outcome and put an amount behind it. Your stake moves from your available balance into a locked balance, and it cannot be withdrawn or cashed out early.
- 3
The pool grows together
Everyone staking the same outcome shares one pool. The price you see (e.g. YES 64¢) reflects how the community has staked so far, not a live trading price.
- 4
Settle when the outcome is known
An admin resolves the market against the published source. A small commission (5–10%) is taken from the total pool, and the rest is shared among winners in proportion to their stake.
A worked example
YES pool: 10,000 GMD · NO pool: 5,000 GMD · Total: 15,000 GMD · Commission 10% (1,500 GMD)
If YES wins, each YES staker receives 1.35× their stake. If NO wins, each NO staker receives 2.70× their stake.
